World's Smallest Violin

The people who endorsed and/or voted for Graham Platner in Maine's Democratic Party US Senate primary knew he was a snake when they did so. It wasn't any kind of secret. The information was out there, and it was on bullhorn.

I'm bipartisan on this kind of thing. I hear from people who supported Trump three times whining that "this isn't what I voted for," even though they knew he was a lying, philandering, untrustworthy con artist who changed foreign policy (and other) positions more often than most people change underwear long before November 2016.

Spare me the tears and outrage. Live with the consequences of your actions. You weren't lied to, you lied to yourselves.
